An aircraft is supported by bicycle landing gear arrangement. If wheel base is 10 unit then, scale location of CG.

5 unit aft from front wheel

10 unit

20 unit from front wheel

25 unit from back wheel

Correct Answer : 5 unit aft from front wheel

Explanation : Typically, for bicycle landing gear CG is aft of the midpoint between two wheels measured from front wheel.
Hence, Location of CG = distance/2 = 10/2 = 5 unit aft from front wheel.

Hydraulic system affect conceptual design based on ______

lift required at tail

space for control surface

hydraulic pump space requirements

secondary control surface

Correct Answer : Option (C) : hydraulic pump space requirements

Explanation : A typical hydraulic system will affect conceptual design based on space requirements for pumps typically. Control surface are located at the wing or at tail section. Lift required at tail will be affected by which type of airfoil is used.
